City and Chelsea cheated, got rich and won. United got cheated, became poor and lost. Without Abramovich, Mansour and the Glazers things would’ve been very different over the last 20 years. And still no sign of any of those things getting fixed appropriately. It’s not a level playing field.

Tom Stoppard. Arcadia. Best Play Ever. Quite aside from its intellectual brilliance, structural perfection and emotional resonance, the comedic wordplay is just unfathomably marvellous!! #satisfaction

Queuing up for ages behind Tom Stoppard at the National for its NT50 extravaganza, waiting to hand our coats in at the Cloakroom, he turned to me, rolled his eyes and sighed - it was the most extra Theatre experience of my life. RIP. And don't forget to collect your coat on the way out 🎭😘

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Journalism is collapsing in the middle of the information war iandunt.substack.com/p/journalism...
The image contains text with the following words: "The public is in desperate need of accurate journalism which cuts through the screaming. We need reporters who can refute what's being said, or interrogate it, or at least put it in context. Instead, journalists - opponents and supporters alike - have become Trump’s handmaidens. They help spread the shit. They hoover it in, churn it up, and spew it out again, wider than before, until everything is covered in it. And then eventually you face a deadly choice: Do you turn it off and risk becoming passive? Or do you keep paying attention and risk going insane?"

This very British type of complacency is infuriating and reminiscent of the useless Remain campaign in 2016, which failed to learn that the lying, manipulative hard Right doesn’t play by the same ethical rules as nice folk, has no sense of honourable conduct and sees fair play as weakness.

It worries me that hardly anything the incoming Trump team has said about space includes the word "science", other than as one of the things astronauts might do on the Moon. I have a bad feeling for planetary science / astrophysics / Earth science

This is a perfect example of why preventions are the opposite of being a ‘restriction’. Macbeth performances stopped due to sickness. By preventing infections & using ffp2 masks & clean air, performers can be protected from long covid risks. This also keeps the audience safe & the show goes on.

This is a wonderful initiative, performers are being hard hit by infections. We need the government to invest in testing & clean air.
